This picture is set in Durham, North Carolina. May 1940. And it is a cafe near a tobacco market. One thing that catches my eyes are the signs. It is just a simple old restaurant, but at that time with the segregation, they separated all the people. There is one sign on top of one door that says "White" and the other sign over the other door says "Colored." the picture isn't showing anyone, but it pretty much explains everything about segregation; it was just a terrible time. It is in black and white, it isn't really that heavy but it shows something that is intense for everyone.
The setting of this picture is in Leland, Mississippi, in the delta area. November 1939. It was taken from the outside and there is daylight in it. You can see two people i it too, but what catches the attention of the viewer first, is the sign that says: "Rex Theater For colored people." In this photo you canb really see the difference from then to today. There was a huge segregation going on in the early and mid- 1900's. The picture itself is light, but the writing in it is very heavy, you can see the separation of races.
This photo is set in Sisseton, South Dakota. September 1939. It isn't showing anybody in this picture, it looks like it is the window of a store, or restaurant. In this photo, exclusively, you can see that there is a big segregation and not only of blacks and whites, but of indians too. A store wouldn't sell something to someone, just because of their race. It is incredible. What catches my eyes first, is the sign that says: "No beer sold to Indians." It is a black and white photo and it is taken from the outside of a restaurant. It isn't too heavy but the meaning of the sign is hurtful and heavy.
